Superatoms, novel entities have been studied extensively in recent years, can be stabilized by mixing with transition metal atoms for forming atomic clusters. The aim of this contribution is to present some recent theoretical results on the application of quantum calculations for examining the structures and magnetic properties of the atomic clusters NaxV (x=1-12) made from the mixing of Nax superatoms with vanadium, a transition metal atom. Optimized structures of NaxV (x=1-12) are determined by using the TPSSTPSS/DGDZVP DFT calculations. Characteristics of optimized structures, as structural parameters, values of the magnetic moment on the atomic orbitals are determined. The obtained results point out that: (1) the Na8V cluster is the most stable in NaxV (x=1-12) atomic clusters and (2) the value of themagnetic moment of Na8V cluster is mainly influenced by the orbital magnetic momentof the atom V and this is an interesting difference from other remaining NaxV(x≠8) clusters

Superatoms, novel entities being studied extensively in recent years, can be stabilized by mixing with transition metal atoms. The aim of this paper is to present some recent theoretical results on the application of quantum calculations for examining the atomic clusters NaxV (x=1-12) made from the mixing of Nax superatoms with vanadium transition metal atom. Optimized structures of NaxV, NaxV+ and NaxV- are determined by using the TPSSTPSS / DZVP DFT calculations. Characteristics of optimized structures, as point group symmetry, chemical hardness (η), absolute electronegativity (χ), electrophilicity index (ω), fragmentation energy (Ef), secondary energy (∆2E), are calculated. The obtained results point out that among different structures of an atomic cluster, the more negative total energy the more stable structure and the Na8V cluster is the most stable in NaxV (x=1-12) clusters.

ABSTRACTWe propose a novel form of graphene-like Si nanostructure based on ab initio total-energy calculation and geometry optimization, (MSi12)n, with M being transition metal atom. It has a three-layer structure, where the two layers of Si atoms in graphene-like positions sandwich another layer of transition metal atoms. The electronic structure may become semiconducting or metallic, depending on the choice of M and arrangement of Si atoms. This hypothetical material can be regarded as a Si-rich phase of transition metal silicide. A potential impact of our finding in forthcoming ultra-scaled Si technology is also discussed.
